SAFETY mzon.

) I Application filed m 8, 1924. Serial No. 705,031.

This invention relates to an improved construction of safety razors' andmore particularly to the specific construction of the guard member whichis provided with longitudinally extending slots adjacent each side ofthesaid guardmember, whereby the lather as it is shaved from a persons facewill pass therethrough and not clog the razor.

An object of the invention is to provide an improved safety razor whichwill comprise either a curved of flat surface cap member on which aredisposed a plurality of positioning plugs and a resilient guard memberwhich is formed with substantially U-shaped.

portions at its opposite ends which are inter: connected to form theguard surface for the razor blade.

A further object of, the invention is at provide a suitable constructionof safety razor which will be formed with a pair'of oppositely disposedlongitudinal extending slots adjacent the opposite surfaces of the guardmember, whereby lather as it is shaved from a persons face will passtherethrough instead of clogging up the blade.

Other objects will appear as the description proceeds.

In the accompanying drawings which blade will extend slightly outside ofthe guard strips 11, and thereby slightly spaced, above the same so thatwhen a person is form a part of my application,

v. taken through my improved razor, and showing a handle, in elevation,attached thereto.

Fi re 2 is a side elevation of my cap ient guard member, and

Fi re 4 is a perspective of my resilient member. Like characters ofreference are used throughout the following specification" and theaccompanying drawings to designate corresponding parts.

The capme'mber 1 is r und d ut r mi rovided with t with a rounded 7 inoperative position.

rel is a transverse sectional view or a curved inner surface, and isfurther provided with the downwardly extending threaded stud 2, whichcooperates with the internally threaded socket 3 on the outer end of thehandle 4. The cap member is further provided on its inner surface withthe spaced positioning studs 5, which are formed at either 'side of thecentrally disposed threaded stud 2 and serve to position adouble edgedblade 6- in its properposition within the razor.

v The guard member? is formed from a sheet of resilient metal and isprovided with a centrally disposed opening 8, and longitudinallyextending spaced slots 9, through which the threaded stud 2 andpositioning studs 5 are respectively adapted to pass.

Each side of the guard member is provided adjacent its opposite endswith substantially U-shaped clips 10, which are connected together bymeans of the longitudinally extending guard strips 11. Longitudinallyextending notches 12 are provided at either- "side of the guard member 7and extend between the said clips 10 at the opposite ends of the saidguard member.,

In assembling my improved razor, the cap member is supported with thestuds 2 and 5.extending in an upright position and a double edged blade6 placed over the said studs, after which the guard member is positionedon top of the blade and over the said studs, and finally the handle andthreaded socket is screwed down tight on to the stud 2 thereby holdingthe several parts x When the several parts of the razor are in operativeposition,

as more clearly illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings, the oppositeedges of the shaving the lather from the face will pass between the edgeof the blade and the upper surfacezof the said guard strip and downthrough the longitudinally extending notches 12, thereby preventing theblade rfrom being clogged. It is foundthat by extendin notches 12 andthe spacing of the blade a s ight distance above the top of the guardstrips.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have provideda highly eflicient type of safety razor which will be quite inexpensiveto manufacture. It will be understood that I do not intend to limitmyself to the specific construction of the safety razor as illustratedin the drawings, as it is obvious that many minor changes in deofresilient metal and provided on each side adjacent its opposite endswith U-shaped projections, which are connected together at their outerends b means of a narrow longitudinally extending guard strip having anL shaped cross section, one side of which constitutes a narrow guardface, the said narrow guard face extending underneath the razor blade ina plane parallel with and spaced from the razor blade adjacent itscutting edge, there being a longitudinally extended slot between saidprojections and between said strip and the body of the guard member.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

CHARLES SOBLESKI'E.
